The Australian Railway Historical Society Museum is located on Champion Road, Newport, Victoria, near the North Williamstown station. It is operated by the Victorian Division of the Australian Railway Historical Society.

History

The museum opened on 10 November 1962, after the Australian Railway Historical Society was allocated space at Newport Workshops by the Victorian Railways to develop a collection of steam locomotives that were then in the process of being replaced by diesel and electric locomotives.[1]

Following a safety audit by landlord VicTrack, the museum closed in February 2010.[2] After various improvements, it reopened in March 2014. The museum is open on Saturdays between 12 noon and 5 pm.[3] During school holiday periods, the museum opens on both Saturdays and Sundays between 12 noon and 5 pm.[4]

Collection

Today, the museum contains the largest existing collection of Victorian Railways steam locomotives, a wide range of other Victorian Railways rolling stock, and numerous Victorian Railways artefacts. The collection includes:[5]

  • seventeen steam locomotives
  • eight diesel locomotives
  • two electric locomotives and four electric suburban carriages
  • five country/interstate passenger carriages
  • ten freight wagons and two guards vans
  • five railway cranes
  • rail tractors and postal trolleys
  • a signal box
  • an O scale model railway
